Nearly three years after authorities foiled a bizarre plot to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, the last defendants accused of taking part go on trial Monday.
Eric Molitor and brothers William Null and Michael Null were among 14 men, described by prosecutors as anti-government extremists, charged in the scheme weeks before the November 2020 election. They were angered by Whitmer’s COVID-19 policies, which shut down schools and restricted the economy, investigators said in court filings.
There were multiple informants, and it’s a pretty defensible position that without the FUNDING provided BY the informants this couldn’t of happened.
I’m sure they were all douchebag morons, but seriously go read the details of the case, it’s wild. Here’s an article to start, if you care:

Funding is not a defensible position.
“Hey we’re gonna go do some illegal shit, wanna join? We just need more people.”
If they go out to do it, they committed a crime.
